I'm gradually working my way through a 5-CD box set of Jimmie Rodgers recordings (100+ tracks) and I'm struck by the variety of musical genres within his music. I knew his stuff principally as the blue yodels and bluesy songs, and it's great to hear songs with a vaudeville/music-hall melodic line, tracks with a very jazzy instrumentation (My Blue Eyed Jane, for example), plus the Hawaiian sounds.

Lovely stuff - and all those classic songs and that wonderful voice as a bonus.
